Telkom Unhappy Pensioner Customer

Telkom SA LETTER OF COMPLAINT TELKOM SERVICE *** To whom it may concern. I am a 83year old pensioner suffering chronic desease in diabetis and hyper tension. I have dealt with Telkom for almost 4 years on contract. In late January 2022 I received a call from cell direct wanting me to do an upgrade. My response to the caller was I will only consider an upgade if I ha ve to pay less than what I am paying at present. His response was “I can do better than that and rattled off some freebees for R99. The Friday after our conversation I received a call from a lady (cell direct) she will do the upgrade. I asked her how much she rep**** R99 per month. I agreed and asked her about my current contract where I am paying R99pm.She said I must cancel it and gave me a number which I dialed and cancelled the current contract so I will only pay R99.pm.This lady rattled her conversation like a jet plane I had to stop her and told her to slow down as I find it difficult to absorb her conversation. Eventually I decided to say yes to all her questions SI was also he then spoke about the 2nd sim card etc. I received. Ia statement reflecting my balance at the end of February amount R473.39.I was totally traumatized and confused. I phoned them and asked for copy of the contract but was told there is no contract it is a telephonic contract and I can find it on the Telkom website I was even more traumatized. I went to your Kenilworth Centre mobile store.and spoke to the lady consultant.I want to cancel the contract. She asked me which as there is 2 contracts in the system. I rep**** why two when the old contract was already cancelled she gave a printout of the account and to my horror saw a second contract for R139pm. How am I going to pay R248 per month excluding usage with a sassa pesion. When you dial 081188 to enquire about your balance the voice message your balance is R1500 what is going on I am totally confused I was not told to pay an extra R139 pm which I cannot afford. I had to borrow the money to pay the balance outstanding. I was also told by the consultant because the contract is new I can only cancel in 3 months time and there will be no cancellation fees. T put me out of my misery I beg of you take me back to where I was before this miserable event or cancel the sim card contract immediately. I beg of your understanding in my miserable predicament I find myself Thanking you ASLAM VAN DER SCHYFF MOBILE *** ACCOUNT NUMBER ***

Telkom SA cc Hello Peter


Further to my letter dated 2nd March 2022 I want to fill you in what has transpired. On the 23rd March 2022 I paid the Telkom Account in full Amount R473.39 Copy receipt attached hereto. That evening I received a (NO REPLY) e-mail with a heading account suspension because the account was not paid.Inspite of the fact that the statement clearly states “PAY ON OR BEFORE 31ST MARCH 2022.The other issue with the payment is the e-mail reflects an account number ***whereas the statement has an account number***. I am totally confused.

According to Telkom my account is suspended I prefer to have the account cancelled
